THE CO UNTRY. Ps long'as folly, and'imPiety contiptre to support the Subscription to patronize Blas- : phenly and 'Sedition, so long shallwe feel it to' 'be our duty to counteract the poison by Extracts from those loyal And well-conducted Journals throughout the Country which manifest zeal in de-, fence of our unrivalled political'Establishment in Church and State. (Front Felix Frrley's Bristol Journal of tke 3d inst) " Ma. llorzz. - -Since our last a meeting has in the Metropolis, to promote a Sub scription for Mr. Fi r One, the Publisher of the blAs fliempus Parodies. We have given only, of rousse, that abridged account of the proceedings which such anteeting on :such a subject deserves. lr was denominated a Meeting of Friends to the Liberty of the Press ; but to our apprehensions the Liberty of the Press is rather endangered, than secured, by such meetings. Very few probably of . the persons who attended this meeting meant to encourage the publication of stupid Parodies, rendered noticeable only by their profaneness; yet, after every disclaimer that can be made, kill not the meeting be considered, by the vampers-up of performances' of this sort, as so much induce ment. and encouragement to their depraved judos ,try-? Now, if this be the effect of the,meeting, we. are,. sure that its tendency is hostile to every kind of liberty ;:ftir a corrupted people, a people without Religion and morals, must be slaves ;. and so well,waathis understood by the French Revo lutionists and by :linonaparte, that both had their systematiemodes of demoralization, as so many instrumentsi of tyranny. The former especially, as their . tyranny was the severest of the two, had the most need of such instruments. They made a sort of barter with the people, 'persuading them to hate the mild restraints of Religion, and then ten dering them a release from all its obligations ; for which glorious liberty they were relnired to pay by the most slavish obedience to the Changing hands of ruffians, who call themselves the Repub lic. This traffic, this substitution of their edicts for the Divine Laws, was one of the main powers that kept the Wheel of the Revolution from' stand ing still. It went the fastest when this was in its greatest play. Robespierre did not carty the nuMber of victims to the guillotine up to the rate of fifty Per day in Paris, and of two hundred per slay throughout the Republic . , until Atheism had been proclaimed by his Legislative Assembly, and Deism was the faith of his immediate followers, and the populace had been told, from authority, that Death is art eternal sleep.' Sure as we are then that whatsoever !evens the influence of Religion and moral's is a preparation for tyranny of one sort pr anther, we must, even upon this secular reason for choice, and supposing Religion . itself to be out of question, as an end, abhor the I wretched pitblications of Mr. floor, and lament she proceedings which would hold him up as an object ,of patronage. ,Upon what ground was he ticquitled—what was the tenour of the reitera tions with which he filled up his speeches ?- 7 Chiefly, that his offence had been perpetrated by many before him, who had not been brought to trial--a plea for exemption from punishment, but surely none for reward. The Governments of for tne'r ages did not duly repress the ill-directed zeal of some, perhaps, well-meaning persons. But how can thii prove any positive merit in Mr, Hone ; yet such merit there ought to be, when a public subscription is reqitired, or, at least some extraor *Hoary and undeserved suffering. The latter claim is indeed meant to_be_urged t for he is de scriled es the yictitnrof persecution. Now, if be were under some degree of difficulty, it might be ans,Wered, that from the very nature of his de fence it appears to have been merited. He was actwitted chiefly because the wrong he did was one cif .which there ,are many unpunished ex amples.: But is be under any difficulty ? Is be the, viedinof any thing ? Is he no t ra th er a trittmPhirig, champion ? He denies that he ad• mires the blasphemy he has published ; but there are, nurnbel s . enough, of, those who chose their Re ligiOt by their politics, to, admire it for hips ; and _ . still, more numerous are tlicy, who, if they be disgusted at his parodies, will yet huzza him for his political,v,ictory. With these two classes then he, is the newest man of the day. He called him self obscure on his trial. Is he not now p u bli c enough ! It is not trifling with him to say this ; we mean by it, that he seems to understand the means of aygiling : himself of his pubiicity in the way of his business. For the purpose of this sub scription he is represented as an object of com panion, yyliiie his prosecution is elsewhere treated as Tr:atter of congratulation, and the subscription itself : will be considered as an evidence of public fa‘ionf." ' " (Front The Cork 44ertizer, Jan. S.) " The subscription for Hone is increasing in London much more than we expected, but st ill very slowly. If the contributions of Sir Francis Butdett, his brother, Lord Cochrane, awl one, or two more of that stamp were subducted,, the sum would he very small. Before the meeting, for his benefit took place, it was prognosticated by a London Paper, that the. majority of ; the sub scribers would be ashamesl of the cause, and send in the rewards of, blasphemy underleigned names. The event has fully justified the prediction ; never, we believe, was a list seen so full.orcontributors.' with assumed signatures. In a small space occur a Member of the House of Lords—a Lady—an enemy to persecution—seven friends,---a friend to an impartial Jury—a. Britoil— , -JosephusA friend to Justice—A friend—Martins lane,--No Parodist —P r o • Bono Publico, with sundry other ingenious devices, besides alphabet benefactors morenutne. rous than real names.—lt shows at all events that those people have not, entirely lost their. [tame. with .their regard for religion, It. shows that though they may have. in private .a. due,regard for blasphemy, they have not .yet. resolved on the public patronage or profession of it ; that they are in short of that very numerous praise -worthy , sect who superatld hypocrisy to whatever other vices they may practice. If •this suburivtion suc 'teals, Norte pay tottgrarttlate ..himself for Lis bla•phemy, as the, infamous Cleland upon his ob scenity, and for the. sane reason : The turpitude Of Cleland was to him a sOnrce,nl profit ; and so 'perhaps may the turpitude of Hone. There will be, however, this difference between their rases. The former was r ewar d e d by a pro fl igate Mini ster, a circutuStance sufficiently disgraceful, but how much greater will the infamy be in the case of the tatter, if his reward be bestowed by the profligacy not of one - man- hut an entire party'!"
